Tanya looked up as she heard Khushi's murmur, concerned she patted her cheek "Khushi.....Khushi, dekho open your eyes. You are safe now. Arnav ji is here with you." 
                          
But Khushi was in the world of her nightmare, as she was running away from Bhushan. The more she tried to run, to make distance between them. The more he is getting near her. 
                          
Tanya worried paged the nurse and requested to call the doctor. 
                          
By now Khushi had started breathing heavily. Doctor rushed inside, Tanya "Doctor I don't know what to do. She is not opening her eyes." 
                          
Doctor "Calm down mam, let me look" Standing by Khushi side he tried calling her gently, his effort were in vain. Khushi could not get out of the terror she is living in. 
                          
Arnavji!!!!!
                          
Arnav rushed to the room Khushi is in, his heart thudding in fear hearing her cry. And stilled looking at her. 
                          
Tanya noticing him "Bhai, Khushi...."
                          
"What happened?"
                          
"Bhai, I was sitting with Khushi when she started murmuring and crying. I tried to wake her but could not. I called doctor. He was trying to calm her but she got too restless. He was going to inject her when she woke up and started screaming." 
                          
Khushi has taken the needle from her hand and is standing backing away from the doctor in fear. Doctor "Mrs. Raizada calm down. It is okay. We are here to help you." 
                          
But she just kept backing away from him. 
                          
As he tried to step near her she cried "Paas maat avao.....dur raho.....Arnav ji!!!" 
                          
She did not hear anything the doctor said and the nurse, all she could see was Bhushan in front of her. His sinister smile, his evil intent. She could not get him out of her mind. 
                          
She screamed as he neared her. 
                          
Khushi!!!, Arnav dashed to her side, embaracing her in his arms, and she became more hyseterical not understanding it is him. She is living the horror of few hours. 
                          
"Chodo mujhe.....chodo mujhe......Arnav ji....Arnav ji.....save me....leave me.....humein chodo." 
                          
His eyes misting, he looked at her, Doctor "Mr. Raizada, keep holding her." he started nearing them with injection in his hand. Tanya gulped, she wanted to cry loudly seeing Khushi's state, but all she did was stood numb. 
                          
Doctor "Place her on the bed sir." nodding at doctor his eyes never leaving his wife's face, he picked her limp form and laid her gently on the bed. Wiping her tears, he carressed her hair, gulping. His throat choking "sweety....so sorry" 
                          
Tanya ran away from there. She rushed into her husband's arm crying worrying Aman and others. 
                          
Aman "Tanya what happened?" he caressed her back; Anjali came with a glass of water offering it. Taking it from her hand he nodded his thanks, making Tanya sit in the sofa, he made her drink water. And waited till she calmed down. 
                          
Sniffing, wiping her nose with the back of her hands she looked at Aman and everyone, narrating what happened inside Khushi's room. Worried and concerned Dadi, Nani, and Anjali rushed towards Khushi's room. Aman wanted to go with them but he could not leave Tanya alone in such state. 
                          
Tanya "You go Aman. I'm fine now. I can't go back there. It hurts to see them like this." 
                          
Aman gulped, hugging her "Are you sure sweetheart?" 
                          
Tanya "Yes, I know you too want to check on them. Just go. I'm fine here." Caressing her hair, pecking her forehead he stood up. Patting her shoulder once he left to see Arnav and Khushi, worried for Arnav. Oh God, why is it always him?
